Hi all,
yesterday, i thought it's a nice day to do the official german t-mobile 1.12 upgrade on my official german t-mobile mdac. It wasn't.
After the upgrade (no errors) the bootscreen shows:
no gsm, and only one Version number: 1.12.01 Ger
on the bottom line.
After it bootet, i get no gsm and no bluetooth working. When i connect by usb, active sync hangs for about 3-5 minutes. If i try to repeat the upgrade, i get something like wrong device, and it shows empty fields on the version screen. I tried to do the update by extracting the official update rar and start the update by MaUpgradeUT_noID.exe, but it says something like wrong device.
I tried this to the same with the 1.13 upgrade from the xda ftp, same thing. I tried a rombackup from sd-card that i found somewhere on the net, but the bootloader says wrong section=1 not allowed.
Is there anybody wo could help me to resurrect my poor little mdac?
Thanks alot,
J
Hi J.
Don't know how to solve all your problems with upgrading, but did you copy the first bytes of your own romdump to the downloaded rom? Otherwise your device won't accept it, you can find a lott about this in other threads. try searching for BigStorage and you will everything about rom upgrades.
Good luck, M
Upgrade your device with the imate rom 1.12 wwe using MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe ,it should work ,then try to upgrade to the german rom upgrade.
Good luck
ongoing revival
Ok, i tried that big storage thing, i replaced the id in the new image from my backup (broken) rom, and when trying to upgrade from sd-card, i get Section = 1 not allowed update.
I'm trying to upgrade the radio stack from the bootloader screen with MaUpgradeUT.exe, but it seems that the usb port doesn't work: for 10 minutes, the update screen stands at 0%, then an error appears:
Radio Rom Update Error.. i should reset, reconnect and retry.
Any more ideas? Is there a possiblity to do the normal "online" update (not via bootlaoder/backup-image) just from sdcard?
Please Help
J,
Last night I did a BigStorage in a very easy way. I followed the description in the thread about upgrading to radio 1.13. You'll have to unzip the shipped rom, decode nk.nbf it with dnbf. Then you replace the usual bit pattern and encode nk.nb1 again. After that you can use maupgrade with or without the noid function like a regular apgrade.
Hope it helps you, M

I was in the middle of a rom upgrade with my magician and the battery has died now after trying to reupgrade with the original imate rom, it gives me a country code error. When I use get device data and view the devicedata.txt file all I get is 2 little squares where there was the operator ID. How can I reinstall the original rom from Imate and have it overwrite the operator ID on the device so I will except the upgrade. I have tried this via SD and with the original upgrade but with no luck. Help is really need please. I know this can be done I just aint sure how to go about doing it. It happen to be with my Qtek 2020 when upgrading to the 2.20 CHS version it changed from Qtek to o2.
I bough my MDAc some days ago and the first I read was the bad accoustic ... but some Google searches told me that there´ll be a firmware update from T-Mobile with the Cebit2005 also having a link for the download section. Cause there was nothing to download I decided to use the firmware beeing offered here. I did the following:
1.) Downloading a actual MDAc firmware (WWE version)
2.) Downloading the country-free hacked MaUpgradeUt.exe
3.) Flashing the device
Everything worked fine but cause my device had an english (WWE) menu I decided to find out how to solv this language problem and found the thread "How to upgrade with the latest I-mate Jam ROM --GUIDE--" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=14973). I understood the process but I still wasn´t able to upgrade cause of the following reason:
1.) I downloaded the new firmeware as WWE version
2.) I went through the hacking process
3.) I tried to flash the MDAc with this firmware
RESULT: The "MaUpgradeUt.exe" told me that the firmware isn´t made for my device (country error)
So I decided to use the hacked MaUpgradeUt.exe which worked but brought me anohter problem. When I startet this file it analysed my device and (normally!) listed me the actual and the new firmware version ... but these fields left empty. When I proceeded the next window told me that I successfully flashed my device ... but the device never received any data during this one second from on to the final window.
So ... flashing with the original MaUpgradeUt.exe is impossible while trying to change the language from WWE to GER ... and the hacked MaUpgradeUt.exe has a problem flashing the device.
Does anyone has an idea how to solve this mess and/or another idea how to change the language later and/or is there a application which offers this (i.e. any mobile phone does it)?
Hey guys,
I tried the WWE-ROM with BigStorage now, but I just want to go back to the original TMO Germany ROM, cuz I don't have big advantages of it but I lose my warranty...
Now my Problem:
Upgrading to WWE was just easy as described in the Procedure.doc on the ftp. But what do I have to do to get the original ROM back?
I saved it as a German.nb1. D I have to use ntrw write German.nb1 h: ? (h: is my sd-card-slot)
That way it doesnt work, the Bootloader doesnt even recognize the ROM. When I backup my WWE-ROM to the SD-card and the use that ntrw command from above, the ROM is recognized, but after having updated it, I can't bot anymore.
Hope anybody can help

Shipped rom?
Hi Stefan,
Seems like there's something wrong with your original rom-dump. Had it myself & it's a pain in the ***. Why not download the original German TMO shipped-rom & try it with the normal usb upgrade method?
Since your magician won't boot the software will probably tell you're upgrading from version blank, but that's no problem it will work. just put it into bootloader, connect usb & start the update program.
Success, M
seems to work, I'm just upgrading it, just had to put it in bootloader-mode again and start the update-utility from t-mobile.de...
will report if it really worked later on
Hi! you would do me a great favour by putting the rom on the ftp! i would really need it!
Please!
are you from germany or from austria?
greets
I don't need to upload it, its not even the most recent version (my original ROM was never, but I didn't find the original from TMO in a newer version :-( )
Just download it from t-mobile.de, I'm from Germany anyway...

Hi,
i have some problems with the radio update for magician.
my device is a vpa compact, i can flash this with all shippes roms but if i want to upgrade the radio stack, i become the error msg 100 - model id error. i have tried it with MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe but than, the update does not start and my vpc compact hang into the bootloader.
have somebody an solution for this probelm?
thx
yep,
leave your machine in bootloader modus, unplug usb, replug usb, start upgraderoutine again and everything should be fine. eslewise do the same procedure with maupgradeUTNOID from ftp.
good luck
Thx it works
you are welcome!
thx again, but its a little stupid.
first time i have tried it with the solution for error 120.
it likes your solution. i dont know why it work now :s
i have start the vpa compact in bootloader and without problems or error msg´s the upgrade started.
few days ago i have modified the ext_rom to big storage, perhaps that is because of it.
Hi!
It's the first time I'm posting here, but after some days of search, I've found a lot about upgrading / downgrading, but nothing about my problem.
I've an MDAcompact / T-Mobile PM10A / Austria and tried to upgrade to BigStorage-Rom according this thread: " Magician to 1.13 + 1.13 Radio + BigStorage ALL-IN-ONE Guide ". I've backed up my original Rom, but after the flash, there was no radio-stack at all (booting device: "no GSM" on display).
I've tried to update the radio-stack again - error message: 114 - error upgrading radio-stack, the same with 1.12 and 1.13. I've tried to downgrade the rom to 1.12 - ok, but no radio-stack. I've tried to restore the original Rom via SD-card in bootloader-mode - device says: not allowed.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance!
did u try to use an origional rom? i mean a non Bigstorage rom upgrade ? because that should fix the problem ( atleast i think it shoud)
Try Downloading the origional t-mobile1.13 rom and upgrade ur device using that install file . If i am not mistaken the first thing that is upgraded is ur radio stack then the extended rom and finally the operating sytem ( if u upgraded u would see that it does it in 3 steps).
I've tried that. As soon, as I upgraded to the original rom from T-Mobile, it stopped at the radiostack-upgrade. After that, I opened the "original".exe-file from T-Mobile with winrar and tried to upgrade again, but without the "radio.nbf"-file, what was no problem. After that, I tried to update with the "radio.nbf"-file (stand alone) again, but the "error 114"-statement came up again.
I got this error before, but only because I flashed my device with the wrong ROM.
(...I once misread "Universal" as a meaning and not as a device codename, and flashed the wrong Radio stack. Thing worked, but radio invalid, no phone capabilities. Fortunately, a reflash with the correct radio ROM found here saved me. And my $300 investment. -.-)
Either the radio part of the ROM's accidentially corrupted (download again), or the radio driver is incompatible with your device hardware. I'm not aware of Minis being avaliable in anything other than GSM tho...
I downloaded the original rom-version from the official T-Mobile website. Fact was: up/downgrade of the rom itself "ms_.nbf/nk.nbf" no problem (I've extracted the exe-file via winrar to a folder and made that several times to up/downgrade), but update of the radio-stack "radio_.nbf" not possible, ended in error 114. The point is: as soon as I start the update-utility, it shows the "Device CE Image version", "Device Extended Image Version" but no "Device Radio Image Version", it looks like no radio-stack is installed at all.
I got that exact same error through the aforementioned Universal ROM debacle (-.-). Radio failed to flash, no radio at all.
There should be a standalone radio stack somewhere in the FTP for magician. I know I saved mine with the 1.12.00 version. Try flashing with that, there's a file inside that allows you to bypass the version detection IIRC (which allows a from-scratch flash). Flashing a standalone radio stack will hard reset your system, but otherwise will not touch anything else.
